Tri-Mer Cloud Chamber Scrubber

“CCS ™ ” Cloud Chamber Scrubber is 99%+ efficient down to 0.1 microns

Revolutionary Technology is the
“Ultimate Solution” to Submicron Particulate

Tri-Mer Corporation has proved and commercialized a new technology for collecting submicron particulate.

The Cloud Chamber scrubber™ (CCS™) was developed by Tri-Mer Corporation and Atmospheric Physics, Inc. (Albuquerque, NM).

The CCS is a wet scrubber technology that allows particulate and water droplets to be charged with an opposite polarity using just 600 watts of power. In a Cloud Chamber Scrubber, billions of droplets and particles move continuously in relation to each other. As they approach 10 microns of separation, electrical attraction causes the particulate to enter the droplets. This means that collector water droplets are delivered to the particulate in a way that has never been accomplished before. This fact is critical in understanding the function of the CCS.

CCS offers several advantages over conventional devices used for submicron control. Chief among them is the requirement of less than 1" of pressure drop under full load operation. By contrast, Venturi systems typically require 40" to 70" of pressure drop; diffusion candles typically require 16" to 20" of pressure drop. This factor is a major contributor to the CCS system’s low operating costs. Also notable: the CCS is applicable to both soluble and insoluble particulate.

 

Tri-Mer Cloud Scrubber (CCS) Another distinguishing feature of the CCS is its ability to remove fumes and gases, including HCl, HF, HNO3 , H2SO4 , SO2 , Cl2 and NH3, and others, simultaneously with particulate. This is important because now one device can handle particulates and corrosive fumes simultaneously. In practical terms, it gives management the ability to eliminate the maintenance costs and labor associated with packed towers.

The CCS has been shown to be 99%+ efficient for the collection of all types of particulate from 0.1 to 3.0 microns. Systems will be manufactured to customers’ specifications in UV-stabilized polypropylene, FRP, PVC, 304 and 316 stainless steel, and higher alloy materials such as Hastelloy and Monel.

Tri-Mer Corporation has exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize CCS technology.
